My shopping lists
kristinem says:
I just started using Remember the Milk yesterday (I registered ages ago, and forgot about it, but now I've started using it) - and I love it so far! I also have the 15 day trial for my iPhone, and it is so convenient - I'll definately upgrade when it runs out. I've been reading this forum and the blog, and there are lots of great tips here! I thought I'd attempt to give something back by describing how I use (or plan to use, as I've only just started) RTM as my shopping list.
I have a tab named shopping where I add anything we need. I never put any due date on the items here, so they won't clog up my daily tasks. I saw on this forum that people use the name of the store as a tag, but as I don't go to the same stores all the time, this won't work for me. When I add something that I'd get from the grocery store, I tag it with "today", as I go to the grocery store most days. I have a smart list on my phone that shows all items from the shopping list tagged with today, so whenever I'm in the store I bring it up, and everything we need is there. I also use the tag someday, which I use for other things from stores I'm not in all the time, so when I'm at the mall it is easy to see what we need. I have an upcoming trip to London, so anything I need to get while I'm there is tagged with London - which I'm sure will be helpful as I'm only there for half a day. I also have an IKEA tag, where I add things I need from there, as I sometimes go there on my lunch hour, but usually forget what I came in for.
I hope some of you will find this useful
